BASIC LIFE SUPPORT (BLS) ACTUAL EXAM

2026/2027 | 100% Verified Answers

You are evaluating the quality of CPR provided by the BLS team. Which methods could you use for this evaluation? - โœ”โœ”โœ” ANSWER-Capnography Chest compression fraction Visual observation Feedback device An adult patient suffers cardiac arrest in bed and requires CPR. When compressing the patient's chest, which technique promotes high-quality CPR? - โœ”โœ”โœ” ANSWER- Position yourself so your shoulders are directly over your hands. Place down a CPR board or activate the system in the bed to ensure a firm CPR surface. You are working with a BLS team performing CPR on a 62- year-old female patient. Which actions demonstrate high- quality CPR? - โœ”โœ”โœ” ANSWER-Compress the chest at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute. Deliver smooth ventilations that last about 1 second each and make the chest begin to rise.

Allow for full chest recoil after each compression. The Cardiac Chain of Survival describes six actions that, when performed in rapid succession, increase the patient's likelihood of surviving sudden cardiac arrest. Place the links of the In-Hospital Adult Cardiac Chain of Survival in the correct order. - โœ”โœ”โœ” ANSWER-1 Surveillance and prevention 2 Recognition of cardiac emergency and activation of emergency response system 3 Early high-quality CPR 4 Early defibrillation 5 Integrated post-cardiac arrest care 6 Recovery You and another provider are delivering ventilations with a bag-valve-mask (BVM) resuscitator to an adult patient in cardiac arrest. Which of the following statements are correct? - โœ”โœ”โœ” ANSWER-Bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilations should be performed as a two-person technique to provide a better seal and ventilation volume. Hold the mask in place with the E-C hand position.

You are providing care for an adult patient in respiratory arrest. Which actions demonstrate appropriate care? - โœ”โœ”โœ” ANSWER-Deliver 1 ventilation every 6 seconds. Continue to check breathing and pulse every 2 minutes. If pulse becomes absent, start CPR. You are caring for a pregnant patient (30 weeks gestation) in cardiac arrest. The patient's fundus is above the umbilicus. Which of the following steps are appropriate? - โœ”โœ”โœ” ANSWER-Activate maternal and neonatal resuscitation teams. Provide continuous high-quality CPR and left uterine displacement. Make sure AED pads do not incorporate any breast tissue. Perform resuscitative cesarean delivery (RCD), if trained, within 5 minutes from the time of arrest. After performing a rapid assessment on an adult patient, you determine they are unresponsive, breathing and their pulse is present. You suspect they have a head and neck injury. What actions should you take? - โœ”โœ”โœ” ANSWER- Perform primary assessment (Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure) and emergent/initial interventions. Perform secondary assessment as patient condition allows.

Reassess patient, recognize issues and provide care as needed. The team leader assigns roles, supports the team, monitors the delivery of CPR and makes adjustments in real time. The team members deliver expert care within their assigned roles, assist others as needed (as long as they can maintain their own assigned responsibilities) and communicate effectively with the team leader and each other. True or false? - โœ”โœ”โœ” ANSWER-True An adult patient with an endotracheal tube (ET) in place experiences cardiac arrest and requires CPR. Which of the following statements are true when performing high-quality CPR with an ET tube in place? - โœ”โœ”โœ” ANSWER-The providers perform continuous compressions without pausing for ventilations. The providers deliver 1 ventilation every 6 seconds. You have been performing multiple-provider CPR and using an AED on an adult patient in cardiac arrest. The patient is now showing signs of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Which action(s) would the team perform? - โœ”โœ”โœ” ANSWER-Stop CPR/AED. Check for breathing and a carotid or femoral pulse. Monitor the patient until the advanced cardiac life support team takes over.
